Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday said he does not have a timeline for using reconciliation to repeal ObamaCare, but indicated that Republicans would look to roll back as much of the law as they can.
“I don't have a time to give you, but we're certainly going to consider using budget reconciliation for repealing as much of ObamaCare as is reconcilable,” McConnell told reporters. “There're certain rules that have to be applied to what is reconcilable and that's an active consideration, as you can imagine.”
Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, later on Tuesday told reporters that “health” legislation will probably wait until the fall. Asked why, he said, “We’ve got a lot to do.”

There's not one positive, definitive word in that entire sentence ...

“.....but indicated that Republicans would look to roll back as much of the law as they can....”
Do I even need to comment on this ???
““We’ve got a lot to do.”
You have over 500 members in the House and 100 in the Senate, most of whom say they favor repeal. There is no reason you can’t get working on the repeal concurrently with the other. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen!
EXEMPT GOP Liars: "We lied to our voters,
but our Moslem Indonesian King
will have them killed to protect us."
While some see this as spineless (and it probably is), its best we not read our playbook to the political opposition as to how and when we will repeal obamacare.
B.S.
Don’t rock the boat!
The good ship lollipop.
I detest career politicians.
You are a better man than I.
I detest ALL politicians.
There. I fixed it.
The gelding wing (and it's a BIG one and includes ALL of the "leadership") of the GOP has no intention of repealing it because they imagine they can make it another campaign issue in 2016 and pull in some more sucker money from the rubes in flyover country. Not from me they won't.
As far as I can see, the District of Corruption is now a foreign power and not part of the real USA. It just squats atop of it and sucks in money to bloat itself and it's friends. A tick has more good uses.
Old Root and Branch.
Note to GOPe..you b.s. game is over. We voters know now we have been played and we only ask that you do not continue to insult our intelligence as we look to go through you, around you and over you to get things done. Take that message and smoke it all the way down. We are enjoying Trump exposing you for everything you are worth. He is right on the money. “You talk and talk and talk and nothing gets done.” You are bought off by the lobbyists and big donors. We get it. You bully conservatives who try to do the right things. You rubberstamp Obama’s agenda totally. We hope you enjoy our response to your betrayals.
I tried to tell everyone that the nation would be better off if a Democrat took his seat.
Alexander Hamilton summed it up:
If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures.”
McConnell, all you want is power and money. You have screwed us repeatedly. And why do you need power and money? You’re and old fart who will be dead soon anyway, God willing.
It is the greatest money raising tool the RNC has ever had.
Every so often, we get a letter from the RNC telling us of the horrors of obummer care, and how does the letter end? “Please send us money....$2,000, $1,000, $500 or whatever you can spare.”
We are being conned....scammed or whatever you choose to call it.
They have no intention of ridding themselves of the best money making tool they have.
Send your money directly to the candidate of your choice, not to the RNC.
That’s O.K. you unprincipled old fraud. The Donald will do it right when he takes charge.
The Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.
Except Trump said ... “I don’t need your money ... I got plenty”
There is no point in expecting anything until the druggie is out of our White House, not with an inability to override a certain veto. I have a realistic timeline.
My timeline: On Friday January 20, 2017, before the end of the work day, Congress passes a full repeal of Obamacare and a real American president signs that repeal. Within the subsequent hundred days, I’d like to see Obama’s entire legacy erased, but I want Obamacare gone within the first few hours.
The alternative is that I give up on the republican party and start preparing to help the successor to the United States in restoring freedom, wherever and whenever that might happen.
I’ll bet Trump could find the time.
